Episode Details

Andy Burnham may be stepping into the Prime Minister role next Monday—and his first move could slash your annual energy bill by $130. A bold proposal from think tank Nesta suggests shifting some energy charges into general taxation, potentially making electric heating cheaper than gas. It also targets daily standing charges—like the 29-cent gas fee you pay even when you’re not using it—and plans to wipe out electricity debt for 2 million households, costing the government $2.7 billion. The result? Higher bills for gas-heavy homes, lower ones for electricity users—just as energy caps jump 13% and winter heating costs soar.
